I play Modern here every Monday and this store is a great place to play Magic: The Gathering. The tourney organizer, Ezekiel is friendly, helpful, considerate, and really cares about the people playing Magic here. He will wait to start if someone is running late and will work with the players to figure out proper judge calls. I believe he also hosts Warhammer 40K events too. The store itself is very well lit, maintained, and most importantly clean. We all know board and card game enthusiasts can be on the smelly/ less hygienic side, but this store is thankfully better maintained. The bathroom is cleaned regularly. The staff is friendly and helpful. They've always been nice to customers from what I see, and will regularly bring your order to your table if you're busy playing a game. All in all I couldn't recommend a better place to play board games or Magic: The Gathering.

# Overall: Next Move Cafe is a chill place to hang out, will…read moredefinitely be back. # Ambiance The cafe is just off of 86th st, located on the second floor. As soon as you walk in, you're met with the sight of all of the boardgames they have available. There's a open space with different tables and booths which is right next to their kitchen area where you can order small bites or drinks to enjoy. This area can get a little rowdy during busy hours, so luckiy they also have 2 private rooms. # Experience I've been here twice and it's been a good experience both times whether you're trying to try out some boardgames or simply take it slow and catch up with some friends.

I went here with friends on a Saturday and we had a good time. There's a pretty big selection of…read moregames to choose from (some nostalgic options for sure). They also have extra game pieces and pens and pencils to use. The admission was $12 and during the week I believe it's $10. I had a lychee slush and it was absolutely delicious. Very fresh. I had the potstickers for a snack and I believe they were $6. The potstickers were okay but not great. It was a pretty clean establishment and the staff was nice. We had a good time playing the game and we were pleased with the games options. I would visit again :)

Christian (the Director) is fantastic and always has a smile on his face and even though has a ton of kids (summer camp, afterschool, etc) always remembers my kids names and my husband and mine as well! Christian is also super flexible as we've had to drop the kids in last minute if plans fell through and is always super responsive. The location is AMAZING. As a black mom of two black boys - I love that the staff is DIVERSE - all colors and genders of the rainbow. Representation matters! I also love that they mix up the day with chess free play, board games, outside play and a movie with chess instruction. The kids have learned the game of chess and have developed a love of it - Thank you NY Chess & Games!

They are wonderful role models and are funny, patient, and engaging. This is the fourth year that my kids have been attending their after school and summer camp (since they were ages 4 and 6). This chess program has helped build their social skills, their analytic thinking and their confidence. Plus, the kids love it there; they say, "it's like going to camp in a toy store!" Also, any day that school is closed, they offer an affordable all-day chess camp from 8 am-6 pm that's so appreciated by us working parents.

Instead of trying to help peoples problems and make more customers they instead don't care about you and will toss you to the side. They don't want your business nor do they care for it Edit- this guy loves to make you look like the bad guy if you even think about making a bad comment. I'll say this here like I did elsewhere. Instead of helping me with my issue you guys took the issue up to 10. If your first instinct when you get a complaint is to just cancel them and make them never want to be a customer anymore than good luck. You are gonna make a lot of angry customers. And when they do get angry you make it seem like you never did anything wrong. I never was abusive to your staff and yeah I was a little rude but when I hear that you guys ran out of stock and are making people wait for the restock how is that preorder? You simply oversold your stock and don't want to admit it or say sorry. It's really funny actually since on Yelp it asks how can we improve? Well you can improve by trying to reason with customers instead of belittling them and making enemies out of them Edit- no response to the fact that they oversold btw. Just trying to discredit me. Lmao I think you don't understand how bad this looks for you. Buying preorders from you isn't worth it or isn't credible. You don't own up to your mistakes nor do you make up for them. You oversold your preorders so you didn't have any left. I mean what a great business plan.

I cannot describe how much I love Brighton Beach, and also how simultaneously intimidated I am to speak Russian to... well, actual Russian people. My accent is horrendous! But at least I could tell my friend what all the crazy toys in were inside of Detskiy Mir - my favourite being the "paint your own saint" wooden figures. This place is amazing, seriously. It has something for everyone, from illustrated Chekov' kids books to talking stuffed animals to the simple notebooks I purchased with Russian insignia on them. The staff is friendly if you understand Russian culture and customs (never hand your money to a Russian, just saying. Put it on the counter). I know my friend loved this place, and I cannot express properly in words how very happy it makes me to be in any kind of Russian store. Eta byla tak horosho!! :D
